If ever there was a movie made for 13-year-olds, it's this one. It's clearly PG-13 as people have apparently zero blood flowing in them, it's just one big testosterone-driven crapfest and it has bombastic music that just doesn't fit the genre - at all. So its flashy and noisy - check. Made for teenagers, all it's missing is an awkward sex scene where you only see someone's back.

At it's heart it's a Guy Ritchie movie, a guy who's work I normally enjoy a lot. It has the really fast editing and a few of the really cool dialogue scenes that make Snatch, Sherlock Holmes and Rock 'N Rolla such classics. After the annoying CGI-spectacle-fest opening I was treated to some really good scenes which gave me hope. Alas, they went as quickly as they came and the movie switched to the usual 'guys running around fighting stuff and shouting at each other for extended periods of time' when there is no real story to tell. And there is no story to tell.

Probably the movie's biggest failing is that it had a huge budget which has been put to use on large CGI scenes, wide angle shots of the (gorgeous) surroundings and expensive actors. The actors are really great too and I would love to see them together in a better movie, but alas in this they're simply wasted. Their characters just are there to be there, they don't get any kind of development nor do you get to really know and like them. Just... bad storytelling across the board.

A really mediocre movie, unfortunately. But worth a watch on a rainy day I if you switch off your brain and just look at the really pretty moving pictures.

Not really, you see there wasn't many things I could say about the film on a "family" forum without upsetting someone.

There must be a miscommunication somewhere because I don't understand where this response is coming from. The tripe I referred too was the "movie", not your opinion. Just to be sure we're on the same wavelength

In any case: looking forward to Turd Man VS Microwave Dinner!

Yes, sorry for mentioning that movie, it is garbage and at least we agree

And thank god for that, because if this movie was fast you'd miss all of it. It is slow building and slow moving on purpose because then you get to feast your eyes and ears on all the glory that this shoves into the individual holes that make up your body. My god this is a sensory overload, I was nailed into my seat.

Storywise it's a bit sluggish as a result, the focus is more on letting the world and the characters tell the story, quite classic movie making. And the world tells a bit of a frightening story as I can actually believe what the movie shows is a possible future we might be heading towards. One of the topics explored is that of relationships with computerized personalities; something that is already happening today. First in Japan but it has already spread to other parts of the world where mainly men are engaging into a serious emotional relationship with a computer program mimicking the "perfect girlfriend". The movie shows that development 30 years from now. The most frightening part of it: I found it quite tentalizing.

I can understand this movie "only" has an 8.5 on IMDB at the time of writing, it won't be everyone's cup of tea much like the first Blade Runner. Well it is not only my brand of tea but it was brewed to perfection in my opinion - except the end, it seemed a tad bit unfinished as not all plot points were unraveled entirely. It has clearly been left wide open for more Blade Runner spin-off movies, and I want it. I want it, I want it, I want it.

Verdict: 9.6. Best (Hollywood) movie of this decade. I hope this is going to set a trend for the next decade.

I've been a bit hesitant to go watch the new Bladerunner, I was worried it would be the usual Hollywood crap that they are continually churning out these days, all fart and no start. Might give it a chance when I go into town during the week.

What a fail, I even Googled the correct way to spell that word and I still managed to do it wrong. Oh well, guess I'm not a replicant.

Be aware that my perfect 10 when it comes to movies is Once Upon a Time in the West; a movie that not many other people will rate that insanely high. There is something about (really) slow going movies which operate more on your emotions and senses that grips me.

It helps if such movies have staggeringly beautiful women, and it just so happens it is true for both Once upon a Time and Blade Runner 2049

I would rate Once Upon A Time in the West a 10 as well. Leone's magnum opus if you ask me. The opening scene with Harmonica shaking his head and saying 'You brought two too many' is cinematic gold, the tension is palpable.
